Question - Parallax errors with non-(D)SLR cameras?

There has been a lot of talk about "mirror-less" cameras, "EVIL" cameras etc. I would like to know if these cameras have parallax errors. I have always assumed only SLR cameras do not have parallax errors (at least optically). Am I wrong?
Thanks for any information.

AFAIK, EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens. And whatever you see is what is on the sensor itself (it's kind of electronic TTL). So, no parallax error.

Thanks for the reply Dr. Harout. I was hoping it would be the case
but I wanted to check with some of the experts. I guess I was confused as there are many EVIL references to Range Finder cameras, which did have parallax errors.
My original foray into the SLR world was because of the lack of parallax error. Of course now with digital, there is also the size of the sensor etc. However, it now appears that I can invest in these EVIL cameras too (given a few other requirements are satisfied).
Thanks again for the response.
